Grandson brought 1 home from sporting goods store. Anybody on here use them? 119.00 each includes hood and battery pack, recharge with your phone cord, says on low setting it will keep you warm for 10 hours. I need something on my back, when it gets cold I have to stop work and go warm up. Ya, I can't work fast enough to keep warm anymore. And to think I USTA stand outside on a loading dock filling a gas truck/ LP truck at -20° with a single pair of jeans and a light jacket on. Dog gone this middle age crap. Taint fun.

There have been times when I wished I had one and I don't even live in cold country. Now in my old age if it is too cold I just don't go outside.

Seems they have a heat pack for everything now , heated gloves for snowmobiling , heated motorcycle gear for riding when cold , heated socks , heat pack for in gloves or mittens.
yep light jacket no cap, might put on vest , and 2 pair of socks as my feet were the only thing that got cold - now unless I have to don't go outside - least the last couple days at this below zero thing .
Now remember about 10 years back - spend 8 hours on the HD5G digging a basement when it was 10 below out , did have a pair of insulated coveralls on and sorell pack boots and used choppers and 2 pair of wool mittens inside them .

Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

I have a jacket. Accountant has a vest. Both Milwaukee using M12 battery. Will run for about an hour on the high setting. Trouble is, I don't turn it on till I get cold and it will take a while to feel relief. Should try a low setting from the get go and see how that works. Otherwise we like them.

I didn't realize kids still wore coats. I'm wearing a vest and coat and they have on t shirt, shorts and flip flops. I thought they were a new kind of human.

I seldom wear more than a Jacket unless know will be in bitter cold awhile. Body heat is enough for me where to artificially heat hands or feet or trunk will allow me to overstay against face or legs and can see real problems arising with my arthritis getting angry.
